Home Gateway Middleware

The heart of the home gateway is its middleware. Today, the gateway is no longer just the facilitator of a simple data pipeline, but the enabler of a complete multi-service digital home. While most gateways consist of similar hardware components, the gateway middleware is crucial to defining the end user experience, enabling a wide range of broadband services, and determining advanced features such as quality of service, security, and user interface for home network viewing and management - as well as overall device performance and reliability.

Service providers typically have multiple gateway models with various middleware platforms and versions in the field, making it impossible to solve usability issues uniformly and deploy new services quickly and efficiently.
